    Eggbound? Soaked and resting. What's next?

    I have a hen who was doing the penguin walk (it reminded me of me walking around with low back pain). She was also listless with a limp, pale comb. I gave her a 20 minute warm soak, access to scrambled eggs (with shell) and she's tucked away in a warm, dark room. What do I do next?
